Noe Indicted
by TChris
While we await word on Fitzgerald's indictments, the waiting ended for Tom Noe, the Ohio coin dealer who allegedly laundered money into President Bush’s re-election campaign. Noe was indicted today.
The three-count indictment ... states that beginning in October 2003, Mr. Noe contributed to President Bush’s election campaign “over and above the limits established by the Federal Election Campaign Act."
“He did so, according to the indictment, in order to fulfill his pledge to raise $50,000 for a Bush-Cheney fund-raiser held in Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 30, 2003,” Gregory White, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced at an afternoon news conference.
Noe, a Bush "pioneer," is also being investigated for stealing millions from the state. TalkLeft background on Noe is here and here.
